When the trunk is opened, the close switch (black rectangular button on top of the trunk lid) with 4 pins: White\/Red, Green, Brown, Brown: White\/Red will be 12V and 0V when the latch is in the close position. When we push the button, the 2 center pins = Green and Brown will short to each other as long as the button is pushed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>All we need is a relay that triggers at 10-14v.
